The animal is cast in a naturalistic walking pose, characterized by its elegant, elongated proportions, slender legs, and a beautifully curled tail. It wears a simple collar around its neck.

The sculpture is crafted from solid bronze and features a spectacular aged patina—deep browns and blacks mottled with hints of original gold gilding on the high points, giving it a rich, metallic shimmering effect.

Weighing over 4 lbs and measuring 12.6 inches long, this is a substantial and striking piece. Animal sculptures like this are incredibly versatile in interior design—they look stunning on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, console table, or even on the floor guarding a doorway. It perfectly blends traditional Asian metalwork with a universal, elegant equestrian/animal motif. See less
